Lambrusco Dolce Quercioli Reggiano

Lambrusco is a sparkling, fruity red wine produced mainly in the area around Modena, Parma and Reggio nell'Emilia. The wines are made purely from Lambrusco or have a small proportion of Ancellotta grapes to strengthen the colour (because of the distinctly dark red colour, the Ancelotta grape variety is therefore sometimes called Rossissimo). The wines are made both dry (up to 15 g/l residual sugar) and sweet (about 40 to 50 g/l residual sugar) and exported in large quantities. A Lambrusco should be drunk young.

Goes well with hearty sausage products such as mortadella and salami, lardo and bacon. Also goes well with hard cheese and rustic breads.

Dense, almost black violet; intense nose, notes of dark cherries and plums. Wonderfully tingly in the mouth, very dense and concentrated, with blackberries, plums and earthy spice. Shows a very nice perlage with quite a long finish.
